EVERY DAY OCCURRENCES. 



Scene. — Stage set for " first part." Circle seated, Tambo 



Attention pay to what I say 

About things that happen every day ; 
Both morn and night there's such a sight, 

It's bound to make us all feel gay. 
Hustling, bustling through the streets, 

Treading on each other's toes ; 
Howling, growling, as they meet, 

No matter whether friends or foes. 

{Last four lines repeated as chorus.) 

{After chorus, Tambo jumps up, holding his foot?) 

Tambo. Oh, my corns ! ! 

George. Excuse me, sir. 

Tambo. Why don't you look where you're going? 

George. I was not aware that any one was near me. 

Tambo. If I had such big feet as you, I'd walk on back streets. 

George. I beg ten thousand pardons, sir. I did not mean to 
do it. 

Tambo. Well, don't you never do that again. If you do, I'll — 

George. What if I do ? 

Tambo. Well, tread a little easier next time, that's all. 

George {to Bones). I never saw such clumsy men in all my 
life. 

Bones. I never saw such homely women. 

George. Your feet are large enough to tread tobacco with. 

Bones. And your dress is long enough to sweep it up. 

George. I want you to understand, sir, that I am a lady. 

Bones. Who told you so? 

George. I'll call the police, you saucy wretch ! 

Bones. If you do, I'll have you arrested. 

George. For what ? 

Bones. For not taking in your sign. 

George. What sign ? 

Bones. Look out for paint. {All laugh.) 



4 EVERY DAY OCCURRENCES. 

George. That's not the way to address a lady. Don't you 
know that woman is man's truest and best friend, his consoler in 
the hour of trouble and sorrow, and when on a bed of sickness, 
there you'll always find her at your bedside. 

Bones. Yes ; looking for letters in your pockets. 

George. Oh, woman, woman, what would we be without you? 

Bones. About twenty-five hundred dollars a year in pocket. 

{Sings). Now stocks have fell, so they tell ; 

When you go in a broker's shop 
They look so cunning, you think they're funn 

When down your money you do drop. 
They say go in, don't be afraid, 

'Twill be up ten per cent to-morrow ; 
And when your money you have paid, 

Why, you're dead broke — and go home in sorrow. 

{Chorus as before.} 

Tambo. Mr. Moneypenny, how is (any local active stock) 
to-day ? 

George. Fluctuating. 

Tambo. What can you let me have one thousand shares for ? 

George. For five and a half. 

Tambo. Send it down to my office, P. D. Q. 

Bones. What can you let me have two thousand shares for? 

George. Well, as it's ten minutes later, you can have it for 
seven and a half. 

Bones. Well, send it down to my office, and I'll give you a 
check on the {local) bank. 

Tambo. How's Water Power? 

George. Very wet ! 

Tambo. Give me a couple of gallons. 

George. We don't sell Water Power by the gallon. 

Tambo. How do you sell it ? 

George. Why, by stocks and shares. 

Bones. How's copper ? 

George. Very heavy. 

Bones. Send me down a couple of ounces. 

George. We don't sell copper by the ounce. 

Bones. How do you sell it? 

George. To make money with, of course. (All laugh .) 

Tambo. George, now, I think real estate is a safer investment 
than railroad bonds. 

George. Why so ? 

Tambo (very dignified). For instance, you put your money in 
land, lumber, bricks, and mortar, then move in your family, and 
send over to the old country for all your relations. Bring them 
here ; then you have something to fall back on. Whereas, in the 
second place, firstly, on the other hand, you put your money in 
railroad bonds, you take your father and your mother, your sister 



EVERY DAY OCCURRENCES. 5 

and your brother, and jump aboard the cars, and they run off the 
track. Kill you and all your relations; then where are you? 
That's what I want to know. 

George. Ah ! but, on the other hand, if real estate has an 
upward tendency, and the money market becomes overstocked 
with gold, then railroad bonds will have a downward tendency, 
which would soon impoverish its creditors and denounce the 
directors. Yea, in fact, would fairly impeach its own president. 

Bones {whistles). There goes Webster's Dictionary all to 
pieces. 

George. Yes, Bones ; but it's all grammar. 

Tambo {sings). 

If at a theatre you're a spectator, 

Listening to a sublime play, 
You admire it much, for the play is such 

You're satisfied when you go away. 
Then home you go unto your bed : 

You wake up with a frightful dream, 
For Hamlet's ghost is at your head, 

And Macbeth by your side doth gleam. 

{Chorus as before?) 

Tambo. George, I was an actor once. 

George. What did you ever enact ? 

Tambo. I played Clod Meddlesome with Pauline Dish-of- 
Apples, in the play of " Lady-in-the-Lion's-Den." 

George. No ; you mean Claude Melnotte in the beautiful play 
of the " Lady of Lyons." The female was Pauline Deshapelles. 

Tambo. George, do you know why they called her Pauline ? 

George. No ; why ? 

Tambo. 'Cause she had such a lean paw — Paw-lean. 

Bones. I was an actor once, too. 

George. What did you ever play ? 

Bones. «I played the skull in " Hamlet, 1 ' and the hump on 
Richard's back. And I played one of the " Forty Thieves." 

Tambo. Yes, and got five years in {local prison) for playing it. 

George. Nonsense ! Didst know that I have been an actor ? 

Bones. Who told you so ? 

George. I played Claude Melnotte, and was called out three 
times. 

Bones. Yes; once by the sheriff, once by de washerwoman, and 
once by your landlady for board. 

George. No, by an admiring audience. I made a big hit, 
especially when I came to that scene where Claude pictures to 
Pauline his home on the Lake of Como. 

Tambo. George, just give us that scene. 

Bones. No ; give us a scene where we ent. 

Tambo. Yes ; two pig's feet and a slam handwich. 

George. No ; that will cost too much for props. Wouldst like 
to hear that speech? 



6 EVERY DAY OCCURRENCES. 

Omnes. Yes ; go it. 
George. Listen : 

'Twas in a deep vale, shut out by old pine treeses, 

Where the parfumigated smell am wafted ou the breezes {bus. of smelling). 

Where persimmons sweet and sweet potato grows, 

And the perfume of sunflower salutes the nose, 

In a little hut, made out of logs of pine, 

All covered over with morning-glory vine, 

There, love, we'd sit and often wonder 

If anything could tear asunder 

Two loving hearts like ours. 

We'd know no friends save those that had the dollars, 

That wore the biggest kind of big shirt collars ; 

We'd read no books, but always take the papers 

That told of darkies cutting capers ; 

And when at night it darkly got, 

We'd illuminate de hut wid de old pine knot, 

Breathe sighs of love to the stars and moon, 

While feasting on supper made of roasted coon. 

And should you pass the still house on the green, 

You'd delight in perfume of whiskey made from the best benzine ; 

But should you seek my home across the seas, 

There you'd be troubled much by fleas. 

They nip so hard, and do so tease, 

You scarce can get a moment's ease. 

To kill them I've found out de trick : — 

First get a candle, and then a candlestick ; 

Place their heads close to de wick, 

And jam der eyes out wid a brick. 

After you have done all that, 

Put them in the boiling fat ; 

And when the fat has cooked their head — 

Bones and Tambo. Blow out the light and go to bed.' 

{Chorus as before, while symphony is being played] at close all 
exclaim together?) 

Bones {with fish-horn) . Fresh fish! etc. 

Tambo. Glass put in ! 

George. Wash-tubs to mend ! 

Tenor. Rags, bottles, rags ! 

Tenor. Right this way to {local) Hotel! 

Bass. Charcoal ! 

{All together until) 

CURTAIN.

Day Exercises at Dana Hall School, Wellesley, JNiass., by two members of the 
Class of '87, and first performed before the members of the school and tlieir 
friends, June 18, 18^7, and later at EUsw rth, Maine, April 6, 18S8. No scenery. 
The " Chronothanatoletron ' (or Time and Death Annihilaior) is an invention 
by means of which any woman of any epoch can be brought at once into tlie 
presence of the " operator." (1889.) Price, 25 Cents. 

THE COUNTRY SCHOOL. A Farcical Entertainment in Two 
Scenes. By M. K. Okxe. For any number of characters, male or female, eitlier 
or both, many or few. big or little. Scenery simple; costumes easy ; time in 
playing, about forty minutes. This sketch carries the spectator back to his 
school-boy days in the little red school-house. Grown folks, the older and more 
dignified the better, take the parts of the pupils in "The Country School," put 
on again the pinafores and pantalettes of their school days and get as much fun out 
of it as they give. The most uproariously comical entertainment out. Closely 
similar to "The Old District School" (§1.00) and "The Deestrick Skule" (50 
cents.) (1890.) Pi-ice, only 15 tents. 

THE TENNIS DRILL, An Entertainment for parlor or lawn. By 
Margarkt Fezandik. This pretty and picturesque entertainment will be a 
novel and popular feature for a school exhibition, a parlor entertainment, or a 
lawn party. Sixteen girls, or less, can take part, regulation tennis suits in two 
colors, being worn, with fascinating "deerstalkers" and "blazers" to match. 
It is very easy to.get up. tennis apparatus being universally handy, and is highly 
recommended for its novelty, picture&queness and equal adaptability for in-door 
orouo-djor use. (1SS9.) Price, 15 Cents. 

RIO GRANDE. A Drama in Three Acts. By Charles Townsend. 
Seven male, four female characters. Modern costumes; scenery, one interior 
and one exterior. Time in playing, two hours and twenty minutes A play of 
Western "border" life, and one of the finest dramas ever written by this suc- 
cessful author. Its interest is unflagging, it is full of bright, clean fun, and 
roaring comedy situations alternate with thrilling and pathetic scenes. Every 
character is a good one and worthy of the best talent. This piece is preceded by 
a chapter of "Kemarks" in which are given in the author's own words, special 
instructions regarding the play, the acting of each part, and all necessary details 
of stage management. (1691.) Price, 85 Cents. 

A DOUBLE SHUFFLE. A Comedy in One Act. By Htcnry Old- 
ham HanLoN. Three male and two female characters. Scenery and costumes 
very simple. An admirable little parlor piece, playing about thirty-five minutes. 
Fred Somers, a collegian, with a taste for practical joking, tries to play a little 
joke on his sister and his fiancee, but they succeed in turning the tables com- 
pletely upon him and his two college chums. Very bright and amusing. A sure 
hit. (1S91 ) 

THE CORNER-^OT CHORUS. A Farce in One Act. By Grace 
Livingston Furniss. Seven female characters who speak, and ten Jury (jiris. 
Costumes, modern and tasteful. Scenery of little or no importance. Plays about 
forty minutes. This clever little piece, by the author of "A Box of Monkeys, 
satirizes the weak side of amateur actors, and with bright and clever performers 
is a sure success. It affords a chance for elegant dressing, if desired, aud for 
telling local hits. In its original performance by professional actresses it was a 
laughing success. (1891.) Price, 85 Cents. 

COUNSEL FOR THE PLAINTIFF. A Comedy in Two Acts. 
By St. Clair Hurd. Four male and five female characters. Scenery, two 
interiors, easily arranged ; costumes, modern and simple. Plays an hour and a 
half. This little piece has more "plot " than is usual in plays of its length, and 
works up to an exciting climax. Good Jewish comedy character. (1891 ) 



Baker's Monthly Bulletin. 



TO MEET MR. THOMPSON. A Farcical Sketch in One Scene. 
By Clara J. Denton. Eight female characters. Scene, a parlor, very simple; 

costumes modern, and all requirements very easy. An admirable drawing- 
room piece. Plays fifteen minutes. (1890.) 

PLACER COLD; or, How Uncle Nathan Lost his Farm. A 
New England Drama in Three Acts. By David Hill. Ten male and five 
female characters. Scenery, not difficult ; costumes, modern. This comedy- 
drama of New England life is of the general class to which "Old Jed Prouty" 
and " Joshua Whitcomb " belong. Its scenes, characters and humor are rustic ; 
its interest, simple but strong. Uncle Nathan is a strong part. Gipsy, the waif, 
is an admirable soubrette, as good as " M'liss." Mike and Joe, good Irish 
comedy characters. (1890.) Price, 25 Cents. 

MRS. WILLIS* WILL. A Comic Drama in One Act. Five female 
characters. Scene, a rustic interior, very easy. Costumes, everyday and eccen- 
tric. This piece has an excellent plot, and is very funny. Few plays for female 
characters only are as satisfactory in performance. 

INNISFAiL ; or, The Wanderer's Dream. A Drama of Irish Life 
in Four Acts. By Richard Quinn. Seven male and three female characters. 
Scenery not difficult ; costumes of the period. This piece is interesting in story 
and depicts Irish patriotism, sentiment and humor, with truth and vigor. The 
character of Felix is an admirable one, the player assuming many disguises in 
course of the action. Effie (lead) and Mary Anne (soubrette'i are both good parts; 
Benner (heavy) and Con o' the Bogs (heavy comedy) very effective. (1889-1890.) 

CHUMS. A College Farce in One Act. By the author of "Clas3 Day." 
Three male and two female characters. Scenery and costumes, very easy. Tom 
Burnham wears ladies' costume throughout the piece, and all the characters 
may be played by men, if desired, as in the original performance by Graduate 
Members of the Pi Eta Society, of Harvard College, at Beethoven Hall, Boston, 
February 29, 1876. A very funny piece and a sure hit. (1890.) Price, 25 Cent*. 

WHEN THE CURTAIN RISES. A collection of short plays for 
parlor performance. By Olaka J. Denton. The plays in this collection are 
short, bright and easy to get up, just the thing for the " Home Theatre." No 
scenery is needed, and no costumes that do not hang in every one's closet. Con- 
tents : The Man who "WENT to Europe. A Comedietta in One Act, for four 
males and two females. All is Fair in Love. A Dr ma in Three Scenes, for 
three males and two females. " "W. H." A Farce in One Act, for one male and 
three females. A Change of Color. A Drama in One Act, for two males and 
three females. To Meet Mr. Thompson. A Farce in One Act, for eight fe- 
males. (1890.) Price, 25 Cents. 

BOUND BY AN OATH. A Drama in Prologue and Four Acts. By 
David Hill. Six male and four temale characters. Scenery, not simple, but 
easily simplified ; costumes, modern. This is a strong and stirring melodrama of 
modern life and times. The comedy element is furnished by a negro and a quaint 
old woman's part. Elias, the "oath-bound," is a strong part; Seth is a good 
light comedy villain, and Jacob a strong "heavy" part. (1890.) Price, 25 Cents. 

THE GRANGER; or, Caught in his own Trap. A Comedy in 
Three Acts. By David Hill. Eleven male and two female characters and 
supers ; six male characters only being important. Costumes modern and ec- 
centric rustic. Scenery may be made elaborate or simple, according to circum- 
stances. John Haymaker is a good character, new to the stage, and full of rustic 
'junior and shrewdness. Alvin Joslyn, as played by Mr. Davis, comes nearest to 
it in flavor. The other characters are excellent, generally rustic types and those 
of low life in the city, where the incidents of "The Granger's" second act 
occur. The story is original in idea, and of great humorous possibilities. Just 
the thing for a Grange entertaiment. Can be played with the simplest accessa- 
ries, yet will amply repay care in getting up. (1890.) Price, 25 Cents. 

THE BOOK OF DRILLS; Part First. A group of entertainments 
for stage or floor performance. By Mary B. Horne, the author of " The Peak 
Sisters," etc. Containing : A National Flag Drill (as presented by children 
in Belmont, Mass., at a Fair given by the Arachne, in December, 1888. Also as 
given by ten young ladies of the Unity Club in Watertown, Mass., Feb. 22, 1880); 
The Shepherd's Drill; The Tambourine Drill (as given at a Rainbow 
Party by twelve little girls of the Third Congregational Society, Austin St., 
Cambridgeport, May 2, 1889); The Mother Goose Quadrille (as danced at 
the Belmont Town Hall, May 10, 1889). (1889.) Price, 30 Cents. 



AN ENTIRE NOVELTY, 



THE GREAT MORAL 

Dime Show 

. AS ENTERTAINMENT IN ONE SCENE. 

By MARY B. HORNE, 

Author of "The Peak Sisters," Prof. Baxter's Great Invention," 

"The Book of Drills," "The Carnival of Days," 

"Plantation Bitters," Etc. 



Nine male, seven female characters. Costumes simple; scenery an ordinary 
interior, or may be dispensed with altogether. Plays from half an hour upward, 
according to the number and character of additional specialties introduced. 
Printed exactly as first performed by the Unity Club, Watertown, Mass., on 
Friday evening, February 5, 189:i. 



Tins most amusing entertainment is a burlesque of the ordinary "dime- 
niuseuin,'' so-called, but is entirely devoid of the vulgarity of its original, and 
perfectly adapted to church or home performance. The characters are, save the 
lecturer and her assistant, a wonderful collection of "freaks" of nature (some- 
what assisted by art) who sing, dance or recite, according to tlieir special 
abilities, in illustration of the explanatory lectu e. It is most elastic in its 
requirements, can be played on any stage or platform, with or Without scenery, 
and with a greater or smaller number of characters, according to taste or 
necessity. It can be made uproariously funny, and is in character as well as fact 

A SEQUEL TO THE PEAK SISTERS.
